What are the allowed values for the quantum number for a orbital?
What is the maximum number of orbitals that could be present in any one atom?
orbitals
What is the maximum number of electrons that could occupy a single orbital?
electron(s)
Expert's answer
The three quantum numbers (n, l, and m) that describe an orbital are integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. The principal quantum number (n) cannot be zero. The allowed values of n are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. The angular quantum number (l) can be any integer between 0 and n - 1
